Art Blooms is a weekend exhibit featuring the work of more than 30 floral designers from across the region. Each floral designer is assigned a work of art in the Main Gallery or the Mezzanine Gallery and asked to create an arrangement inspired by that work of art. The results are surprising, beautiful, and provocative - and not to be missed. 2013 will mark the fourth year for Art Blooms, an exhibit co-hosted by the Calvert Garden Club and Ann's Circle of Annmarie Garden.

As a complement to the studio portion of The Living Gallery program, an exhibit of works by the Living Gallery artists will open April 5, 2013, and run through May 19, 2013, in the Main Gallery at Annmarie. Guests are invited to attend the Annmarie After Hours Reception for the exhibition and sale on Friday, April 5, 2013, 6-9pm. The exhibit and sale will include works created during The Living Gallery, as well as works created in the artists private studios. The Living Gallery Exhibition & Sale is your opportunity to return to Annmarie to see the artists completed works and to purchase a work of art that you observed being created.
